IMPROVEMENT IN WOODEN LAMBREQUINS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,356, dated April 2, 1872.

To whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY WEBER, of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wooden Lambrequins for Windows; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is an elevation of my lambrequin 5 and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part of its cornice, taken from the rear side to show the mannerV of securing the lambrequin to the Window-frame. l

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

The nature of this invention relates to the construction of window-lambrequins of wood, appropriately ornamented 5 and the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of its constituent parts. My improved lambrequin artistically ornamented, costing, come plete, 110 more than the expensive materials from which lambrequins have hitherto been made, while being susceptible of highly artistic ornamentation, more readily put up, and incomparably more durable.

In the drawing, A represents the lambrequin proper, pendent from a cornice, A1, both being made of wood and ornamentedby carv ing, engraving, and tracery, which may be picked out in gilt or colors; tassels of wood carved to simulate those of fabric may be suspended from the lambrequin, as in those heretofore made Wholly of fabric, as shown in the drawing.

The cost of my lambrequin complete, of highly-finished hard wood, ornamented as shown, does not exceed that of the raw materials from which silk and Terry lambrequins are made, while its durability is beyond all question.

To put up my lambrequin, a meta-l bracket,

B, is secured to each j amb of the window-frame, and on these brackets is laid and secured a shelf, C, having secured on its upper side, near each end, a pair of sockets, a, into which the horizontal limb of a right-angled bolt,-b, secured to the cornice slides, and is prevented from drawing out by a single wood-screw, c, passing through the bolt into the shelf.

With special machinery for the purpose, y

nearly every part of the lambrequin may be made therewith, at a reduced cost and they v may be sold in various sizes to nt Windows of any width to which they are readily attached, in the manner shown and described.

Either before or after the lambrequin is put up, the spaces between its ends should be inclosed by a side piece, A2, Fig 2, which I prefer to manufacture with and have form part of the lambrequin.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A wooden lambrequin, wherein the cornice A1, the bolts b, sockets d, shelf G, and brackets B for securing said lambrequin to a windowframe, are constructed and arranged substantially as described.
